    Upper:
    Shilen Stainless 8.5” 223 Wylde Ultra-Match barrel with 1:8 twist
    Rainier Ultra Match Billet Upper – Mod 2
    AAC Brakeout 2 Suppressor Mount
    Rainier Avalanche Charging Handle
    Rainier Ultra Match BCG - NIB
    Syrac Ordnance .750 Adjustable Gas Block – pinned
    Pistol length gas tube
    BCM Gunfighter KMR 7”
    BCM KeyMod Rail Panels - black
    Arisaka Finger Stop - KeyMod
    Troy Folding Battle Sights
    Vortex SPARC-II RDS

    Lower:
    Spikes Tactical Spartan Forged Lower – Multi-Cal
    HiperFire HiperTouch EDT Trigger – used the 4.5 pound spring
    KNS Anti-Rotation Pins – Mod 2
    Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release

    Buffer Spring
    Buffer
    KAK QD End Plate

    Those are the major components.

    Comments about the build:

    I bought the Spikes Tactical Lower on an impulse. They had a Fourth of July sale and laser engraved Stars-and-Bars on the right side for free. This sale coincided with all the controversy over the flag, and it was a “What the heck – buy one!” When it came in, I thought “Now what do I do with it?”. I don’t have an AR Pistol, so I built one.

    Admins: If you receive any complaints, please let me know and I will pull the right side photos.

    I should have purchased the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 1 instead of the Mod 3. The Rainier Modified Trigger Guard protrudes slightly below the rear receiver trigger guard “ears” and the gap filler on the Mod 3 Pistol Grip would not allow the grip to fully seat. Exacto-Knife fixed the problem.

    Mixed emotions on the Oden Extended Mag Release when using KNS dog bones. I had to back the mag release button out two turns before the “paddle” would clear and release magazines. Perfectly functional, but I would have thought Odin Works would have relieved the paddle slightly in anticipation of users with KNS pins.

    I was surprised to see the KAK QD End Plate had the center tip ground off. Their standard end plate did not have that done. This made centering the buffer tube a trial and error as tightening the castle nut tended to twist the buffer tube. I will be replacing the KAK QD with a Daniel Defense QD End Plate.

    The pistol passed function check and I am looking forward to some range time to zero the Troy irons and the Vortex RDS.

    It rained parts for several days











    The Upper and Lower fit together nicely





    I was pleased with the final product





    AAC Suppressor does not overload the front-end - still balances fairly well





    It was a fun build, I think it will be a shooter - we'll see.

    Since you're a southerner, I applaud you for standing up for your heritage and southern history.

    Damn Jerry, when I also saw you had hinted at an 8.5" Rainier UltraMatch I was wondering what you were putting together.

    Beautiful! Can't wait to see what you think of the Shockwave.

    Will definitely bring it for the fall shoot (if not sooner). I kinda hinted at it when I sent you pix of the lower.

    Actually it was a couple of days late - I ordered a Fortis Hammer for this build. Fortis in the spares box, Avalanche in the upper !!
